Picking out the right spinning should not be hard or time consuming, should it?
We have, after all, access to forums and fishing articles. But why is that if you are looking for resources about spinning reels, the first websites that pop up are internet tackle stores. Every single one of them tend to be filled with hyped up reel descriptions. If you finally manage to stumble upon one informative guide about buying the right spinning reel, they tend to be short, superficial and on top of that represent only one author's opinion.

Donnie Grubbs III, Contributor – Texas

My name is Donnie Grubbs III. I have been fishing as long as I can remember. Growing up, my father took me fishing with him regularly and helped me develop the patience and passion for fishing. I live in North Texas and fish local lakes, rivers, ponds and occasionally the Gulf of Mexico. I also enjoy fishing in Oklahoma and Colorado when I can get away. My passion is fly-fishing but it’s always easy to go back and start slinging baits with my bait casters and spinning rigs. During the summer of 2013, I set the fly-rod water body record for white Crappie on Lake Bridgeport in North Texas and hope to set many more in the area. Many people get bored with fishing, but what keeps me intrigued is learning the ability to use a stick and a string with a piece of metal/plastic/thread tied to it and lure in a wild animal with such skill that it believes it is alive. This is what drives me.
